ABSTRACT
A case is presented of a patient with a picture of acute gastroenteritis and splenomegaly. Microscopic study of the spleen and a lymph node showed the characteristic findings of Whipple's disease, although no digestive alteration was found, in spite of performing several duodenal and jejunal biopsies. The etiopathogenesis of this entity is commented on and discussed.
